I got your point, but there is agrowing need for moving away from windows,
and mac osx x11 could achieve this. Right now, if I am needing a new mac, I
cannot run os9.2 on it if I understand things correctly and therefore,
cannot run any screen reader with the regular apps. beinga mac user, I'd
be willing to make the switch if need be.

The point I was trying to make was that a screen reader that works
through X11 can't talk to the non-X11 applications - and that most Mac
users use mostly non-X11 applications. Thus Gnopernicus is unlikely to
be of much use to the average Mac user in need of a screen reader.
